Matches on GR

Is "Tree Matches" working? If I click on "matches" for any entry in my tree I just seem to get the main page showing the top 3 people I share matches with. I also seem to have no relations without at least one match, but they just take me to that same page...not much help.

Mine seems to be working OK, although most of the so-called matches aren't, as the birth places are all over the world, like the Hot Matches used to be.

Unless you have relations with very unusual names, you probably will get at least one other tree with the same name, although it may not be the same person!

If it doesn't improve, try telling GR and ask them to sort it for you.

Sort of sorted....it's in the NEW TREE that Matches don't come up for me. Every relation shows as having at least one match however if I clcik on it it just takes me to the home page. When I use OLD TREE it works normally with many relations having no matches at all and those who do, come up in the usual listings though with annoying surname variants which I can't turn off.
